white stuff in D.C.


Today my wife is flying off to experience many things white in our nation's capital,
Washington D.C., where she will live the life of a native for a few weeks.
She says she will miss me, and the kids, but I know she will miss our little dog,
Toby, the most. Maybe she can rent a doggie that will forever be jumping up on
her lap and ogling her dinner.
She will be walking and touring the monuments, among other things, and taking
pictures and keeping her memoirs on her new blog.
I'll be following along to see what's she's up to day by day, and in three or four weeks
I'll make the long drive over to say hello. She'll have a list of things for us to do and see, including
seeing the White House, and the Washington monument, and Monticello, etc etc etc.
We'll see all the white monuments and some white grave markers and whitewashed
picket fences around little white bungalows. Historical, informative, and fun.
If you're interested, check it out occasionally...I'm sure there will be more to read and see than white; maybe even green or pink!

That's right - all those white things will reflect like crazy on a sunny day in June. I hope she gets good weather... and if she does, remind her to wear her sunglasses!

Well, if I lived in that city, I'd have her to dinner :).

White...I'm chuckling. Hey, I'm just a Canadian but um, who is kinda the boss guy of your country right now? I'm just sayin'.

Hope she has fun. (Sorry for Toby's loss.)

there are so many white buildings & monuments in d.c. it is downright blinding!!!

am sure your honey will have a lovely 6 wks there but that you and the toby will be missing her mightily.

if you get a chance to visit during the smithsonian folklife festival that would be terrific...i'll be missing it this year but will be down soon after to 'parent sit'..... who knows maybe the mouse and the half-moose will cross paths after all!

She left you home alone? Awesome, let's play! Your drawing tonight is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing her blog too!

Smithsonian is a must. The Mint and FBI were eye opening as a kid.

Have fun and congrats to the wife!

I too have been to the White House. I was a little disappointed as I'm only short and I was shuffled around surrounded by tall people so I didn't see much.I hope your wife is luckier.
